About N39.8

N39.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified disorders of urinary system. It belongs to category N39 (other disorders of urinary system), block N30-N39 (other diseases of the urinary system) and chapter 14 (diseases of the genitourinary system). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within N39, choose N39.8 (Other specified disorders of urinary system) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: urinary tract infection, site not specified (N39.0), stress incontinence (female) (male) (N39.3), other specified urinary incontinence (N39.4) and disorder of urinary system, unspecified (N39.9).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 698 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 1.6398), DRG 699 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 1.0003) and DRG 700 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6741), in MDC 11 (Diseases and Disorders of the Kidney and Urinary Tract), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 599.89 (other specified disorders of urinary tract).
